I personally don’t care much about federation and think it unnecessarily complicates the user experience. I’m here because lemmy as a product is good enough, not because I value its connection to other instances.
I do think we need to get away from centralized services, but I personally think the federated approach won’t scale well, at least the way it has been implemented due to the sheer amount of duplication of data.
I’m not going to avoid a product just because it isn’t federated, I’m going to avoid a product because it’s centralized.
im game for a noncentralized system that works some other ways but trustcafe is just its own thing and therefore centralized. I do love maximum end user config though and trust cafe has rate thing which is great. right now I can block something or subscribe or leave be but with trust cafe I can bump someones rating up or down to see less or more but not always see or never see the stuff.
From the Wikipedia page on the project, there’s a quote from this Twitter thread from 2019, where he says he’s potentially interested in adding native support. Hopefully that comes at some point, I’d be happy to try it out if it does.
yeah im aware but its 2024 and it trust cafe rebrand was 2023 after launching not very much before that. Im not seein git as a driving interest and im not sure how he would add it unless he allowed users to add trunks which would actually be really great if done.
Well, that’s a little unfortunate, then. Here’s to hoping it does eventually get there 🤞 I’m just happy to see the decentralized, non-profit internet grow.
I like it well enough but its not part of the federation. If it was I would use it as my primary fed home. Assuming it could pull in all content.

total agreement there. better for it to be than for it not to be.
